The time it takes for that substance and the fragrance of the potted plant to interact, that is, the incubation period of twelve hours, means that if she doesn't find a way to counteract the drug within those twelve hours, she will also go into premature labor.

However, she had already come up with a solution the moment she discovered that substance.

But Li was the opposite; she was certain that she had contracted the virus and would definitely have a premature birth.

What should I do? Should I have a premature birth along with Ms. Li?

Looking at her protruding belly, Jiaming's eyes flashed with tenderness.

The child is still growing. What if we give birth prematurely and his body isn't fully developed?

Although she possessed wood-type supernatural abilities, she was confident that her child would still develop fully even if born prematurely. However, she was always worried about the possibility of something going wrong, so it was better to let him be born naturally.

In that case, she had to seriously consider this matter. After all, Jiaming glanced at the Fujin, who believed that she and Li Shi had both been drugged. It was impossible that Li Shi had gone into premature labor while she herself was perfectly fine.

This is clearly telling the Princess Consort that I, Guarjia Jiaming, have been playing tricks on you these past few days, and that I have a highly skilled person in my Taoyuan who can identify medicines.

How could she so easily reveal one of her trump cards? Jiaming felt she had to think of a way to cover it up.

Just as Jiaming was racking her brains for a solution, the Fujin, who was chatting with everyone, estimated that it was almost time and immediately gave a wink to her maid Liu Hong.

Liu Hong immediately understood, and suddenly made a gesture with her hand behind her back. The maid standing at the side door, seeing this gesture, immediately went out of the side door.

A little while later, she came in again and went to Liu Hong, whispering a few words to her. Then, Liu Hong stood behind the Fujin and whispered something to her.

Those sitting below the Fujin (principal wife) immediately fell silent upon seeing that she seemed to have something on her mind.

Sure enough, after a short while, the Princess Consort said, "I have things to attend to, so I won't keep you all any longer!" With that one sentence, she dismissed everyone.

After leaving the main courtyard, Jiaming still couldn't figure out how to hide the fact that she hadn't had a premature birth like Li.

Hongtao had been by Jiaming's side for quite some time, so she could naturally sense that Jiaming was different today. In the past, although she didn't often speak when she came to the main courtyard, she wouldn't be so silent.

"Master, are you feeling down or depressed?" Hongtao asked, supporting Jiaming.

In the past, when my master was bored or in a bad mood, he would also be sullen and silent.

Jiaming shook her head.

Hongtao was a little worried, so she immediately looked at Granny Sun and asked her for advice.

Granny Sun was also puzzled. "Master Guarjia, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell us. Perhaps we can help you solve it."

As she spoke, Granny Sun's eyes filled with worry, and she said earnestly again, "After all, being preoccupied will affect the little master in your belly. It wouldn't be good if it disturbed the fetus."

Jiaming hesitated for a moment, but after looking around and seeing that there was no one else nearby, and that her special ability had not detected anyone else, she said, "It's not that we can't tell you, but you have to be careful, keep a normal expression, and don't give yourself away."

Hearing this, the situation seemed quite serious, and Hongtao and Granny Sun's faces tightened. But remembering what their master had just said about "maintaining a normal expression," their expressions quickly adjusted and returned to normal, and then they both nodded slightly.

"Your master has been given a premature birth drug."

"What!" Hearts exclaimed in alarm. Realizing her mistake as soon as the words left her mouth, she quickly shut her mouth.

Granny Sun's expression was equally solemn, but having seen more of life than Hongtao, she quickly regained her composure.

Jiaming, after looking at it, couldn't help but sigh that Hongtao was still too inexperienced. She immediately whispered to Hongtao, "Expression, Hongtao..."

.

She still made a mistake, and Red Peach was upset, but with Jiaming's reminder, she returned to normal.

"Don't worry, there's a way to solve it," Jiaming said softly, her steps unchanged. She supported her stomach with one hand and walked naturally along the road towards Taoyuan.

Upon hearing this, Hongtao and Granny Sun instantly felt relieved.

“The problem is, I can’t let that person know that I’ve taken the antidote for premature birth.” After posing the question, Jiaming continued, “Do you have any way to make that person think that I accidentally took the antidote?”

Hongtao was stunned by what she heard. She felt her mind wasn't working properly; if Xiao Hezi were here, he might be able to come up with a solution.

Now, we can only pin our hopes on Granny Sun. She's been through a lot and might come up with a solution.

That's what she thought, but when she saw that her master didn't even glance at her and instead looked expectantly at Granny Sun, a feeling of heartache welled up inside her.

Waaah, so my master already knows I'm not very bright!

Feeling immense pressure as she was stared at by two pairs of dark eyes.

However, she did have some ideas, but she needed to know the specifics, such as, "Master, what is the medicine you plan to use to treat premature labor?"

Only by knowing what the medicine is can we find a way to deal with it.

"It's not medicine, it's two kinds of ingredients." At this point, Jiaming couldn't help but move closer to Granny Sun, and then softly revealed what the ingredients were.

The voice was very soft and faint. Judging from Hongtao's bewildered eyes, she hadn't heard it. Only the thoughtful Granny Sun had heard it.

"Master, are you sure Taoyuan has both of these ingredients?" Granny Sun was still a little worried. "The person who administered the medicine couldn't have forgotten that those two ingredients could counteract the effects of premature labor, could they?"

Jiaming knew that Granny Sun was worried that the person who poisoned the food might tamper with it, and that she wouldn't be able to get those two ingredients when she went to the main kitchen to collect them.

“I was prepared. I got one ingredient early on, and it can be stored, so the small kitchen has it. As for the other ingredient, there’s no need to worry. As long as the small kitchen only gets this one ingredient, the main kitchen is unlikely to refuse it. Besides, even if they don’t give it to me, I have other ways to counteract the premature birth medicine.”

However, we still need to go back and ask the kitchen if they've brought back that ingredient. If they haven't, we'll probably have to find another way to cure it.

Back at Peach Garden, after asking Xiao Hezi, it turned out that the small kitchen had indeed brought back that ingredient.

This should have been a good thing, but Jiaming still felt a faint sense of unease. Neither she, nor Hongtao, Granny Sun, nor even the young Hezi who had just been informed could come up with a solution.

As time went by, Jiaming's heart sank deeper and deeper; she couldn't think of a solution!

Before lunch, it was time for Jiaming to order. She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't order any dishes made with ingredients meant to help with premature labor. Ordering something specifically might arouse suspicion from the Fujin (principal wife).

Well, there's still time. If she still can't think of a solution by dinner time, she'll risk arousing the Fujin's suspicion by ordering dishes made with those two ingredients. Besides… Jiaming lingered a little longer in two certain spots. (To be continued.)
